Chapter 18: Shopping 2
"Buy! Of course you have to buy it! Jiang Xi made a final decision, Li looked at her, and finally agreed.
It's just that with such a big jar, it must be difficult to move it home.
Jiang Xi quickly set his eyes on the small jars next to him.
After the wine is ready, it will have to be sold when the time comes, so it is better to buy a few smaller ones, and if you buy more, you can also let the boss send them to their home.
In the end, Jiang Xi chose more than a dozen of the smallest wine jars, which cost two cents each, and then bought seven or eight jars that could hold thirty catties of wine, adding up to a total of seventy-nine cents.
Since they bought a lot, they discussed it with the boss, and the boss said that he could help them deliver it to their door.
Calling an oxcart over, at most only a few pennies, today Jiangxi and they bought so much, the boss's face was happy.
Out of the clay pot shop, Li's face has not been very good-looking, and he is distressed about the money.
"Xi'er, what did you say our family was going to buy those things for?"
In addition to wasting money, Li really can't think of any other use.
Jiang Xi patted her arm, originally wanted to pat her shoulder, but because she was too short.
"Mother, don't worry, this thing will definitely work."
Then I went to the grocery store and bought a lot of sugar.
Li didn't say anything when he bought sugar, the two old people in the family have suffered for most of their lives, and they are reluctant to drink even a glass of sugar water, so it's good to buy some back, but is his daughter buying a little too much?
Twenty catties of sugar, this is still Jiang Xi is afraid that she will not be able to lift it when she will go up the mountain, if it is not far away, she can buy dozens of catties.
"Mother, do you want to buy some meat and go back?" Jiang Xi looked at the money in his hand, and there were eighty-one wen left, and the silver would not be touched for the time being.
With the fifteen catties of rice in their hands and those at home, the two old men should be able to eat for a while, and when the month is over, they will be able to receive another three pieces of silver.
"Meat?" Li hesitated when he heard this, meat is very expensive, that kind of semi-fat meat costs five yuan a catty, even lean meat, it will cost at least four yuan.
But when they thought that in the past few days, they could get a little oily every day in Shen Yuanwai's house, but the two old people in the family had nothing, and Li's heart suddenly softened.
"Let's buy some."
By the time we got to the butcher's shop, the better fat had already been bought.
In these years, oil is too expensive, and many people like to buy fat, if nothing else, they can save a lot of oil, resulting in fat meat being more kneeling than lean meat.
Looking at the rows of lean meat and two pieces of red pork liver, Jiangxi showed joy.
"Boss, weigh me two catties of lean meat, and put this pork liver on me."
It is rare for someone to come to buy lean meat, especially pork liver, and when Zhang Butcher heard it, he was immediately overjoyed.
"Okay, I'll put it on for you."
Two catties of lean meat, a total of eight cents, pork liver is cheap, and you can take a piece for one penny.
Butcher Zhang strung the meat with a rope, handed it to Jiang Xi, and asked, "I still have a piece of plate oil, do you want it?" This thing could not have been kept until now, but it was just bought for the guests, and something suddenly happened at home to use the money in a hurry, and even the town did not go out, so it came and returned. ”
Zhang Butcher didn't say it, Jiangxi didn't think about it, and there was no oil at home.
She took a look, it was indeed a good plate oil, and she bought it for ten cents.
As soon as the twenty cents were spent here, Jiang Xi only had sixty-one cents left in his hand.
On the way back, they took the road on the side of the broken bridge, and it is said that after Shen Yuanwai knew that the two women cut the bridge and caused inconvenience to the people on the mountain, he deliberately ordered people to spend money to pave a new bridge on it.
Although it is still a wooden board, compared to the simple appearance before, it is simply a heaven and a place, and now looking at it from a distance, I also know that it is a bridge.
For this reason, Shen Yuanwai's reputation in the town is better, especially the people in the mountains, most of them are grateful to the Shen family.
Of course, it is inevitable that some people will gossip, and on the way back, Jiangxi heard someone talking.
"That Shen Yuanwai doesn't know what to think, but that broken bridge is still worth repairing? It would be nice to give us the money, and I could go buy two nice clothes. As for those people on the mountain, what if they can't get down, it's better to die on their mountain, don't come down and bring the atmosphere of our town to ruin, a bunch of poor ghosts! ”
The people next to her took the initiative to distance themselves from the man, and she hadn't noticed it yet, and had been chattering.
When Jiang Xi passed by the man, he said lightly.
"I don't know how Shen Yuanwai will react when he hears your words."
Suddenly, the woman's voice stopped abruptly, and she looked around vigilantly.
Jiang Xi ignored these and had already set foot on the way home with the Li family.
